About: Dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets since age 16. I currently own two small dogs that I potty trained and crate trained myself. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets. Since I’m home full-time, dogs receive constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. 🐶💕 As a stay-at-home wife, I am home full-time and able to provide flexible scheduling, constant supervision, and plenty of attention for your pet. I am available every day of the week making it easy to accommodate most boarding, daycare, and pet-sitting needs. Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment. I have two small, friendly dogs who enjoy making new friends, along with plenty of toys and enrichment throughout the day. Crates are available if needed, and pets can enjoy supervised outdoor time in my yard while on a leash. Every dog in my care is treated like family and receives lots of attention, affection, and quality care. 🐾💕
About: Boarding with me is like sending your animal on their own vacation. Spoiled would be an understatement as your fur babies will be getting all the love and treats. I have so much room for them to run around and play, indoors and out. Being cuddled up on couch with me is not forbidden here🐾 I take great pride in meal times providing fresh meat mixed with dry kibble along with some salmon oil and farm fresh eggs. After meal times we will typically go out for some exercise and adventure followed by a much-needed nap time ❤️ I do not like to kennel so they will be roaming free in the house with a dedicated relaxation spot with fresh bedding. Everyday their bedding gets changed out, we like to call this resort style as we try to provide the best possible experience for each client. 📸 During the stay we take lots of pictures to send home to Mommy and Daddy each day to keep everyone as happy as possible knowing that their furry loved one is being well taken care of and you can see the happiness in each picture 📸 even if it's just a photo of them sleeping peacefully we like to provide the parents with as much comfort as possible knowing that they are in good hands. I take great pride in caring for my own furry family members like they are at a pet resort and we always welcome new friends and visitors to our happy little bunch! I'm home full time and enjoy training, grooming and making feeding time fun! I have a three bedroom house that they will have most of the access to as well as a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and dig! You are more than welcome to bring your own kennel or if that's too much of a hassle, I can provide one, just let me know if you will be bringing one at the time of booking. I prefer for them to be uncaged 99% of the time and maintain high safety standards so that your furry loved one feels safe and secure during their stay. They will be introduced to my crew in a safe and supervised manner, if there are personality conflicts my crew will be kept separate from them. Personality conflicts rarely happen but it's no extra sweat if this does occur.
About: So Now that I have your attention, I've had pet for 27 year & my grandpa has over 50 of experience dealing with animals. I am comfortable dealing with all different sizes from 10lb to 300lb Im good with bigger dogs. Here some animals I have grown up around and know how to handle Dog's,Cat's Rabbit's, Chicken's, Horse's, Emus ,Ostriches, plus one donkey. I'm good with puppies. I helped my dog when she had puppies. We have 3 dog, & 7 cats 4 of which are mine the rest have been dumped here, in the middle of nowhere sadly that why people just drop them off out here. I used to take care of the neighbor's animals when they were out of town or on vacation. Recently I did this for the first time In long awhile. Now im watching a friend's dog too. I realized not only do I enjoy doing this, it could possibly help my grandpa (who's doing this with me ) pay for his diabetes medication because he feels better earning the money the asking for it. Services I can provide: trim their nails, Play time walks if you have any commands im more than happy to reinforce there training. Also I'm a photographer and am willing to take pet photos. The only scheduling conflicts wouldbe with the Doctor's appointment. But there are only a handful of those a month I'm also a photographer so unless I have a shoot schedule. It should fit nicely into our routine. In my clients home, I would do my utmost to try & care for there pets to the standards that they are Accustomed to or what is being asked of me. If they need medicine then I would prefer to have detailed instructions and to watch the owner do it once. I am a quick learner. Along with a hard worker.

Loved all the sweet animals that came through!

I have a fenced yard with one dog of my own! She can easily be put up if needed but is so sweet! I have an extra dog bed already (that gets cleaned) from when I take care of my friends or family’s pets! Lola has plenty of treats and toys i’m sure she would love to share!
About: Since I was 12 I’ve been helping my mom in her dog grooming business including walking, feeding, watering, and bathing. I’ve also had a handful of babies that needed special care so I have no problem handling any sort of medication if needed. I am working part time so I have plenty of time during the week for any service needed. I am available up until 4:30 Monday- Tuesdays and all day on Sundays. My house is unavailable for dog sitting at the moment however again I don’t mind to travel! I will let your babies out of course, check their water bowls, and have plenty of play time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Gideon. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Gideon after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
